Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has sparked outrage online after admitting she took her teenage daughter clubbing and introduced her to alcohol at age 17.
The controversial revelation was made during a candid chat with popular content creator Mr Lilgaga, where Bakare expressed pride in her unconventional parenting choice.
“I brought my daughter to the club when she turned 17,” Bakare stated. “And I love knowing she’ll credit me as the one who showed her the nightlife scene and drinking culture.”
The actress’s remarks triggered heated debates across social media, with many criticizing her for normalizing early exposure to adult entertainment.
Here’s what Nigerians had to say:
@DonMike_X questioned: “Is this what passes for good motherhood nowadays?”
It_hafizski slammed: “This isn’t progressive parenting—it’s outright irresponsible. Teenagers need boundaries, not bar tabs.”
DamiTheOG remarked: “Celebrity status doesn’t equal parenting wisdom.”
Just_2undey fumed: “And this woman gets respected as a mother? Absolutely shameful.”
Brainpink commented: “Let her raise her child her way. Overprotection backfires—at least she knows what’s happening.”
@SamanthaIdunumi defended: “Kids secretly do worse these days. Better she learns responsibly from her mom than recklessly elsewhere.”
Sturbyrich reasoned: “This builds openness between them. Teen rebellion still happens—might as well be supervised.”
Shuluemp blasted: “Since when did corrupting minors become maternal bragging rights?”
